Garden grill or coral reef?
We currently have adrs for the candlelight processional package at garden grill, but I recently added at character bfast at tusker house. Should I try to switch to coral reef or stick with what I've got? I would love to hear some opinions ... thanks in advance.

We have never experienced the Garden Grill, but have heard great things about it. Coral was great when we were there in '10, especially if you can sit by the tank!!

Was not impressed by Coral Reef. I have had better seafood at any number of places and have been to better aquarium themed resteraunts.

I much prefer Garden Grill.

I enjoy the coral reef quite a bit. While it is probably not the best meal your goona have on your trip, the menu is pretty yummy including some great deserts. As others said the tank is great, and we have been there maybe 7 times, and have sat next to it every time! If you do make a reservation try to call the day of to ask for a spot near the tank, they are usually very helpful with that stuff.

I don't eat seafood and have been to Coral Reef exactly once, probably five years ago, with my mom. Mom was unimpressed with her meal at Coral Reef. She also didn't much care for the seafood at the clambake at Beach Club. None of my friends have ever suggested going there, so I don't think it could be all that good. The tank is very cool.

I've never heard anyone I'm with complain about Garden Grill. I like it well enough, but not as much as I did a few years back...the food isn't as good. When they have the fresh green beans, I can eat an entire plate of them for dinner...and did once. Those green beans were so good, but they never seem to have them any longer.

Garden Grill is one of the harder reservations to get, so if you want to go there, book it sooner rather than later. :)

I have eaten at Coral Reef many times due to the atmosphere. I find the food to be quite mediocre, but I love eating by the tank.

I am trying Garden Grill for the first time next week.

We've had good food at both - crappy service at both.

Can't go wrong with either if I do say so myself. Depends on what kind of food you're looking for and how much food you plan to eat. It's very cool to see Living with the Land from that perspective. But the aquarium is also a good atmosphere.

I personally liked Garden Grill much better than Coral Reef, but they are both good restaurants.

Same here....but it was a tough call for me...

I tried both last year and both were good! The Coral Reef was awesome. We sat in one of those semi-circle booths in front of the tank! I loved it! I had the steak and it was amazing!

We also went to Garden Grill. We had an amazing waiter which was hilarious and made the experience even better! The only thing I did not like that they served was the chicken. Everything else was good :)
